I can't imagine that there would be a 3" difference from front to
rear. Did you measure from the ground to the top of the wheel well?
Typically you'd lower the rear 1 - 1 1/2" more than the front to
achieve a level ride height. The cheapest way to get this is some
lowering blocks. I'm not sure if you need to worry about correcting
for pinion angle with this small amount of drop or not.
If there is in fact a full 3" difference then you could still use
lowering blocks (I'd recommend the tapered blocks from AIM), dropped
hangers, or if you can find 'em you could use dropped leaf springs.
Hope this helps.
